i had gotten nexplanon implanted at my 6 week check up after having my daughter(sometime around aug 2012) i literally bled almost every single day besides a few weeks, and finally got it taken out 2 weeks ago, i was just wondering if i need to get on something right away or how long it takes for the nexplanon to be out of your system, esp considering i had unprotected sex 2 days after getting it removed. thank you

Hello everyone. I had my nexplanon for 2 years and had it removed Nov. 2016, I did not have a period while it was in and my period did not start on it's own, my gn gave me progesterone to make it start and it started but only lasted 4 days and was very light. I had a lot of pregnancy symptoms, nausea, aches, etc and I am now 13 days late on my next period, I know I am not pregnant, all the tests say negative. My gn has now put me back on progesterone to make my period start again. Anyone else have this problem?
I got pregnant a month after getting nexaplon removed.
How long did you have it in for and did you have a cycle
Hello everyone, I know how frustrating it must be playing this waiting game of trying to conceive I know because I am in the same boat. But for the ones who aren't trying to conceive I am told every woman and their body is different. Some can conceive right away and some it takes a while so just in case I would advise y'all practice safe sex until you find another preventive method, hopefully I'm one of those right away ones. I had my first son 9/24/13 on 11/6/13 I had my Nexplanon put in. Since then I have irregular cycles, for an example in 2016 I only had three cycles. First one was 1/1/2016 the second one was 4/1/2016 and the last one was 12/1/2016. I was working around a bunch of babies and caught baby fever so after 3 years I finally decided to have my Nexplanon removed on 1/27/17 I have not had a cycle yet but hopefully I want because hopefully I'm pregnant but I'll keep you ladies posted.
I had Nexplanon for seven months with no period. Then it started. I bleed for two months. The last week I bleed so much I had to have a blood transfusion. My gyn prescribed Megestrol ( the generic name). It stopped the bleeding completely. But when I stopped taking Megestrol the bleeding came back almost as heavy as before. My gyn said it is causing life threatening side effects for me and it has to come out. My implant is being remove this week. I know this doesn't answer the pregnancy question but maybe the name of the medicine that stops the death period will help someone else.
I had nexplanon removed on June 22nd, & found out I was pregnant on July 31st!! I am 3 weeks so I got pregnant very fast after getting it removed!
Where you on your period before the removal?
Hello just curious if everything is going well with your pregnancy? I got my Nexplanon out 4 weeks ago and Im 3 weeks pregnant.
Have you had any complications during the pregnancy so far? I keep hearing everyone miscarries.
I had my Nexplanon removed 12/9/16 and I just found out I am pregnant. Not really sure how far as I never had a period. I go in two weeks for my first OB appointment. I wish I could figure it out, I am going crazy trying to figure it out. Hope you have a great Pregnancy!!
@ rachel you found out you were pregnant the same day you took it out
I had the implanton for 3 years after I had my son. We have been trying for 7 months to have another baby but my cycle is so messed up now. Before and after pregnancy it was 7 day's every month and always started on the 19th of every month. Now, I never know when my period will start. the first menstrual cycle I had after getting me implanton birth control rod removed my period had lasted 7 days. It then went down to five days and was like that for the remainder of the next few months, except for last month when I can't remember if it was three or four days I have already had 2 periods that I have missed entirely and ended up bleeding at the end of the month (also for 5 days) and the stress has gotten to me to where I am as close as can be to giving up on having more children. I do have a stressful life and i have anxiety alot. Usually I have an achy somewhat painful feeling in my right ovary it goes away but will come back.
It doesn't last long and it's bearable but it's making me worry. It hasn't happened in a little while. I tried tracking my period when I would ovulate but it was so difficult because I could never tell when I was actually ovulating I feel like I can't have kids anymore and it's causing severe depression and anxiety I sleep all the time because I'm always so upset. I have lost a lot of motivation because I feel like I'm broken. Please help me... I just turned 24. I should be able to have babies so why can't i? I am over weight. I am 5,9 and roughly around 285lbs maybe less maybe more. I had my cervix and vaginal entry area checked with a pap at my local health department a little over a month ago and they said everything looks very healthy.
I had mine taken out today I had sex 3 hours before it was taken out am I safe from getting pregnant
I have the same problem. I am very worried and I feel like I am alone. I wish I could find out what is wrong, because I have another child that is 9. I have had an implant for approximately 5 years until I decided to remove in October 2015. I am still not pregnant. :-(
I had mine taken out on the 5th May and I had my period, I've been having unprotected sextet with my partner because we are trying and unfortunately I'm not but I'm on my next period cycle is that a good sign that I can after or is it my body getting used to not having the inplant there? And roughly how long does women take to fall pregnant when they had it out because everyone's different I've been talking folic acid every day since its been taken out and still no luck.
I've had mine out for two or three years and I still haven't gotten pregnant. I've been married to my husband for a year and two month's and still nothing. I did look up that, female's can get pregnant a few days after, a few weeks after, and a few years after. I am one that is going to be a few years after, but I may not be fertile because of the nexplanon. I may not have anymore but my son that is getting ready to be four years old in less than two weeks away.

Hi, I'm new on here and I had recently gotten my nexplanon removed on the 4th of February. I've had unprotected sex on the 4th, 6th, 7th, 10th, 14th and the 15th of February. I know it sounds weird keeping up with the dates that I have intercourse but I do want another baby. I have a 1 year old whose about to turn 2 in october this year. So I'm not sure if i'm pregnant or not... I'm just excited about wanting to have another baby. My doctor told me I could get pregnant right away but I'm not sure if I'm one of those who can get pregnant after the removal or a little bit after. During my nexplanon, I've had it since Dec 31 of 2014 and I had it removed the 4th of Feb of 2016. So can someone tell me a little bit about it?
So I had my nexplanon put in Oct 31, 2013 and I took it out Sept 17, 2015. Me and my husband have been having unprotected sex Bc we want a baby. But I have yet to get pregnant. But I'm only 21. I don't know what's going on with me either. I have the same questions you have.
I just had some clear mucusy discharge and then it stopped. I'm not sure if I'm pregnant or if it's just something else.
Hello, I got my Nexplanon implanted on October 16, 2016. I had a period on November, and spotting all December, yes! The whole month!
January I had spotting also from the 4rth to the 10th and every time after sex.
Throughout my experience with Nexplanon had headaches, lost of appetite, hair loss, nausea, cramps, breast tenderness...
But the main reason why i decided to have it remove is because I experienced abdominal pain and lower back pain the whole month of January.
I was so afraid of an ectopic pregnancy or infertility. So i talked to my husband, and decided to have it removed was the best option.
I had my Nexplanon removed on February 1st 2016. Had unprotected sex since and have not gotten a period yet.
We want to have a baby and I was wondering if anyone else shared same story or similar.
I just had mine taken out March 7 and I am already feeling pregnant have not had a period . But small stomach cramps .
I got mine removed on January 23rd. I had my first period on February 13 and on March 10th I found out I was pregnant with twins.
Well I had mine removed on January 4th, 2016 and am still not pregnant. Got my period today actually.
I've had mine removed 4 weeks ago (14/3/2016) not pregnant (and trying hard) and also still no period. Ihave to say a had very little bleeding while on nexplanon, does anyone know if that makes a difference?
Hey there I had my implant removed 23/02/2016 got a positive pregnancy result 30/03/2016 I never even had my first period!!! So I'm over the moon but it is different for everyone with my two daughters I had implant and took 3 months each time to fall pregnant xx
Hi I just got my nexplanon removed on April 20th and I have had unprotected sex at least 5 times and am already feeling pregnant. The first time I had it removed I was pregnant 2 weeks later and I was just wondering if the cramping is just normal when it gets removed or if it's possibly pregnancy?
I went to the doctors for the cramps i got told that's normal and can take up to 4 weeks. It's just the womb and all the other bits 'getting back to normal'
I just got mine removed today. My doctor told me you are the most fertile the first month after its out. I can literally get pregnant right now. So be careful.
First, it really depends on the person and second, I think it also depends on how long you were on it before getting it removed. My OB told me that I probably won't even ovulate for 1-2 cycles and she has inserted Nexplanon into hundreds of patients over the past 5 years and even has it herself. She said she's only had a few women actually get pregnant right away. She also said that some take a long time to get their period again while some others will start bleeding immediately that'll last a few weeks. It really is different for each woman.
There's no "typical" experience. Since there's no way to tell which one you'll be before getting Nexplanon removed, if you don't want to get pregnant, then you better start your new form of birth control immediately. And if it's the pill, you need to start that 7 days before removal.

I got my Nexplanon implant February 2, 2015 and had it removed May 11, 2016. My fiance want to have two more children and after getting it removed and it's been two weeks I still haven't had a period
I got mIne removed 8/3/16 the next day I was cramping and started bleeding. That following sunday I had intercourse it helps with my cramps. After i had sex i didn't see my period anymore. My hormones have been raging out of control.
Lizzie8379 hello how is everything going with your pregnancy? I got my nexplanon out 4 weeks ago and Im 3 weeks pregnant
I got mine removed tuesday (12/8/15) and they gave me seasonique to take which I didn't take right away. My SO and I had sex unprotected each day after that. Multiple Times a day. I started my seasonique sunday (12/13/15) I'm afraid I could be pregnant. It's to early to tell now just waiting to see if I'm not.
I got the Nexplanon implant Aug. 6, had it removed Oct. 12 (It made me very hormonal), and I just found out I'm about 4 weeks pregnant on Nov. 9. I never even got a period after it was removed. We had sex 3-4 times and that was all it took. I've also been doing research and found that a lot of women were miscarrying due to getting pregnant so fast after removal of the implant. But hopefully I do not fall into that category. Best of luck to all the women ttc after implant :)

What was it like for you after you had it removed? I got mine taken out on the 10th February after having it for 3 years, and have been having unprotected sex sometimes multiple times a day trying to conceive.. I don't know if anyone else had this but these past couple of days I've been really horny (sorry couldn't think of a better word!) I don't know whether it's because I've started ovulating again or maybe I'm pregnant already, but I literally want 'it' constantly! I was just coming to the end of my period when I had my implant removed and so maybe this is a good sign???
Did you have a healthy baby?
hi, I'm new to this. im 19 years old and was on the nexaplon for 1 1/2 years. i got my bc removed on December 1st 2016. its now january 8 2017, me and my significant other have not been using protection. could i be pregnant? please help!?
I got mine out in Feb of 2015. We have been trying since and yet to conceive. I have a friend who has the same issue 2 years later. She was on it much longer than me. I only used it a year. I personally regret ever getting it. Plus, getting it out made me gain weight fast. I hope if you want to get pregnant you can and you don't have to deal with what I'm going through.
I had Nexplanon in for 2 years and had it removed on January 4, 2016, and I had started my period 2 days prior to the removal. My period ran its usual course and ended 4 days later. My cycle had been regular for the whole 2nd year. But I had no period at all the first year. Today (2/3/16) is supposed to be the last day of my next period. However I never got it but have tested negative every day. I had all of my normal pre-period symptoms last week and still nothing.
Anyways, my OB said some women need a jumpstart and if my period still hasn't come by my appointment next week, that she'd give me something (I'm assuming clomid) to start my period and hopefully ovulation. But she did say it usually takes her patients 1-2 cycles before ovulation actually occurs once they've had Nexplanon removed. Have you or your friend brought it up to your OB's? If not, I would.
Also, for all of those freaking out about having pregnancy symptoms right after having it removed, that is normal. Your hormones are trying to level back out. While not everyone will get those symptoms, a lot will. And only a very, very select few of you will actually be pregnant. I had full blown symptoms from nausea to darker areolas to sensitive boobs to a very heightened sense of smell and it all went away after about 4 weeks. And I'm definitely not pregnant. Which is very cruel for those of us who are actually trying to get pregnant... :(
I go see a new obgyn next week. When I did bring it up to my primary doctor she said she doesn't even know why doctors are still pushing that birth control. All she has heard is bad reviews towards it. Hopefully next week we will get some answers. My cycles are normal. Except in the past 4 months, 2 were late by 6-10 days. Which is rough cuz you get hope you are pregnant. I hear good and bad things about it. Guess I'll see next week what the issue is.
Im having the same issue.i had mine removed Nov 2015 and still not pregnant 9 months later so definitely depends on the person
